My firm wants me to use the out-of-office greeting whenever I'm out during normal hours (dental appointments, meetings, etc.) I don't want to unsubscribe or postpone every time I'm out for a couple of hours, so you get stuck with my out-of-office greeting. If anyone has a better suggestion, I'm all ears.

re: out of office replies: Nope. We've tried for years to tell librarians to UNSUBSCRIBE before they leave town, but .... To me though, it's a small price to pay for the joy of being able to call on my fellow librarians for their expertise. And isn't it nice that they don't want to miss a single law-lib message even though they are out of town (personally, though, I unsubscribe - there is a limit! :-)
re: My real gripe (mild): Yours is at least the 3rd "thank you" message posted this week where the person who posted the question neglected to post the ANSWER for the rest of us to learn from. PLEASE, everyone, don't just say thank you, if there is the slightest chance that at least one other law-lib member might like to know the answer to the question you posted. Post the answer! Just because a couple people respond to the list, doesn't mean the perfect answer didn't go to you and you only. A lot of people are Reply-All-shy. So strip out the personal data, but post the responses.
Many thanks,
Laura

Subject: RE: LexisNexis account consolidation
Thanks for all the helpful comments.
Is there a way to send a message to law-lib without getting 25 out-of-office replies in return?
